A lap full of cat

Tinker is a "big boy" cat, but I think he believes he is a tiny abandoned kitten.
He wants to explore, and take on the world, but if he is lost, or something startles him, he is crying like a baby kitten.
He was outside a bit ago, with an open door to come back. Suddenly I hear hissing and he runs inside, trampling Mickey. I look, but see nothing, no one.
As soon as I sat down here, he was in my lap, purring away. I saved him from the big bad whatever it was.
He is making it hard to work on the computer. I wish he would go sleep on Bob's feet.

Bob thought maybe a fox, but I suspect a local stray.

@rebelann He does not know that he is a really big boy. He is less than a year old still.

@GardenGerty She seems worse this week too. She knows I miss Bambi and I know she misses Bambi.

scaredy cat! My dog is like that too. She is pretty small but she thinks she’s a puppy and can jump all over our heads and chests etc.

Aw, poor Tinker! Some animals are really scaredy-cats, aren't they? Even ones that look big and tough.

He usually tries to be big and bold, but it must have been a surprise to him.

Usually Tink does not come to the computer room, but he will always get on me if I am on the sofa.
